a bit of a rip off? the price is unknown...unless you are saying the shirts are a rip off of the fila's borg shirts...in essence copying them since they look very similar

Yes, I mean they "borrowed" heavily on the iconic look of the Fila Borg line. Sure Fila doesn't "own" the pinstripe, but thanks to Borg this particular Fila shirt has gained a certain notoriety and is often referenced (see "The Royal Tenenbaums", "The Squid and the Whale"), that is has become one of the quintessential references for a tennis shirt, much like what the Zippo is for lighters.

Nike being such a design driven company I am a little surprised that they ended up so close to such an obvious reference, especially as Nike is generally creating those design icons themselves.

That pinstriped shirt on the right sure does look like a copy of the Fila "Borg" polo that Borg wore in the late-70's-early 80's. I wonder if Fila will sue Nike when it comes out?

Didn't Courier wear a shirt like that at one time. I think it was a Supreme Court shirt or something and was a white/off-white with red pinstripes. I think it was supposed to look like his beloved Cincinatti Reds uniforms.
